Isotonitazene, often referred to as 'ISO', belongs to the nitazene class of opioids, a group of synthetic drugs that can be multiple times stronger than morphine and significantly more potent than fentanyl.
Since its emergence in the U.S. illicit drug supply in 2019, ISO has been linked to an alarming number of medical emergencies and overdoses. Part of what makes it so dangerous is how it can go under the radar; it's often mixed into counterfeit pills or street drugs without the user knowing. Even experienced opioid users may not realize they've taken it until it's too late.
At The Coleman Institute for Addiction Medicine, we know how urgent it is to act when dealing with substances such as Isotonitazene. Our Accelerated Outpatient Opioid Detox program can help you safely and comfortably eliminate opioids from your system in days without the need for hospitalization.
What Is Isotonitazene?
Originally synthesized for pharmaceutical research but never approved for medical use, Isotonitazene acts on the opioid receptors in the brain. These are the same receptors activated by heroin, oxycodone, and fentanyl; ISO binds to those receptors, despite being synthetic.Why Is It Dangerous?
- Extreme potency: Even tiny amounts can suppress breathing, cause unconsciousness, or lead to death.
- Unpredictable risk: Since ISO is often combined with other substances, people may unknowingly ingest dangerous doses.
- Difficult detection: Standard drug tests may not pick it up, delaying critical care in overdose situations.
Why Quitting ISO Is Difficult
Because Isotonitazene is so potent, the body quickly becomes dependent. Stopping cold turkey can trigger severe withdrawals.Signs & Symptoms May Include:
- Muscle aches & body pain
- Intense cravings
- Restlessness & insomnia
- Nausea, vomiting, & diarrhea
- Anxiety, irritability, & depression
- Sweats, chills, & flu-like symptoms
How Accelerated Outpatient Detox Works
Traditional detox programs may require weeks in a hospital or inpatient facility. Our Accelerated Outpatient Opioid Detox is different; it's faster, more comfortable, and helps you recover without putting your life completely on hold.Our Treatment Program Includes:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate your health, history, and usage to create a personalized treatment plan.
- Medically Supervised Detox: Over a few days, we gradually and safely remove opioids from your brain's receptors, reducing the intensity of withdrawal.
- Non-Addictive Medications: We use medications that control cravings and discomfort without creating new dependence.
- Relapse Prevention: Once the opioids have been flushed out of the system, we can start Naltrexone Therapy with Vivitrol injections, which block opioid effects and reduce the risk of relapse.
- Case Management: You'll have access to support during and post-detox, including follow-ups with your medical provider and referrals to continue addiction treatment (PHP, IOP, etc).
The Importance of Naltrexone Therapy
Detox is the first step, but we believe relapse prevention is critical for lasting recovery. Naltrexone works by binding to opioid receptors and blocking the effects of opioids if they are used again. This means that even if a slip occurs, the user won't experience the euphoric high that fuels the cycle of addiction.By incorporating Naltrexone after detox, we help patients:
- Reduces opioid cravings
- Supports early recovery
- Lowers relapse risk
